After the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion was reborn, she divorced and married the prince!

Song Mingli entered the main room of Chongming Hall.

Madam Gu’s smile was a little stiff.

She bowed and sat down aside.

"Mingli, I heard you caught a cold and are feeling unwell. How are you now?"

"much better."

Song Mingli didn't say a word of courtesy and his attitude was cold and distant.

Madam Gu's mouth stiffened... She has someone backing her up, and she's too lazy to even do the job of saving face!

"What is the relationship between you and the Duke's Mansion? Why are you so enthusiastic today?"

Madam Gu complained, "You should have told me earlier that you have this relationship... If we knew, we would have prepared generous gifts today."

"It doesn't matter." Song Mingli remained indifferent.

Madam Gu couldn't pretend any longer.

She gritted her teeth secretly.

"Mingli, are you blaming your grandmother?

"You suddenly showed up at such an occasion! There were so many guests, and I asked others to stand up and give you a seat... Isn't it the face of our mansion that is embarrassed?"

Song Mingli looked at the old lady indifferently.

"You misunderstood. I didn't blame anyone. The maid who was assigned to the wrong position has been dealt with by the Duke's Mansion."

Upon hearing this, Madam Gu was shocked!

He values ​​her so much!

“When I said it’s okay, I wasn’t trying to evade the issue.

"Grandma, do you know that my second brother got into a fight and was arrested?

"My second brother fought with the third young master of the Duke's Mansion. And the reason he fought was to protect a little girl.

"Coincidentally, that little girl is the long-lost biological daughter of the Duke's wife."

When Madam Gu heard this...she was in a daze and shocked, just like she was listening to an opera.

"If my second brother hadn't intervened, the incident at the Duke's Mansion would have been...unresolved." Song Mingli said calmly.

Madam Gu couldn't help but nod repeatedly...That's true!

"The Duke's Mansion wanted to reward my second brother handsomely, but my eldest brother is a low-key person and doesn't like to show off, so he declined."

Song Mingli smiled and said, "The Duke's Mansion is also an honest man. Seeing my eldest brother's decisive refusal, they thought of me.

"They feel that thanking me is equivalent to thanking the Song family. That's why they are so close to me."

Madam Gu thought about it over and over again, but couldn't find any flaws in Song Mingli's words.

The impact of General Song's incident is still there, so the Song family is indeed very low-key.

The Duke's Mansion wanted to give face to the Song family, so they took special care of Song Mingli...

It is understandable that the Gu family did not get any benefit from this.

Mrs. Gu had a bitter taste in her mouth.

"No matter what the reason is, you are now a member of the Gu family! This is your home!

"Mingli, you are a sensible child..."

Here we go again.

Song Mingli stood up and said, “You have to treat my family as a family member.

"A few days ago, they blocked my entry, and today, there was no seat for me at the Gu family's banquet. Is this what they call a family?

"I have never said a bad word about the Gu family in front of the Duke's wife, and I won't say anything bad either. But people have eyes, and they can see for themselves."

After Song Mingli finished speaking, he stood up and bowed.

"It's getting late, grandma, you should go to bed early."

Song Mingli left Chongming Hall without any delay.

Madam Gu sat up straight abruptly and reached out to stop her.

But thinking of her current support... I really didn't dare to stop her.

Although the Song family no longer has the glory of the past, the two Song brothers are lucky and are not hopeless.

Even Song Mingli, who has always been a gentle person, is becoming less and less controllable!

Pinching her is so painful!

Madam Gu's heart was beating fast...

Originally, I wanted to ask her to help the Marquis' Mansion as well, but looking at Song Mingli's expression, it seemed that he didn't step on the Gu Mansion at all, all because they were "one family".

Madam Gu took a deep breath. This can’t go on!

"Where's Madam Shi? Still no news? Ask her to go look for that master... Did she find him?

"No matter what method she uses, tell her to invite the master!"

Madam Gu lowered her voice and warned Xiangkui.

……

After Gu Qingshan returned to the Marquis' Mansion, he couldn't wait to go to Qichiyuan.

He never imagined that the figure he had been thinking about day and night... was actually Song Mingli!

There is no way he could be wrong today!

But as soon as Su Yi got off the carriage, she used the matter of Gu Huai and Gu Jia to restrain Gu Qingshan's steps.

"It's getting late. Let's talk about it tomorrow."

"No! This matter is very important and must be made clear today! Otherwise... otherwise..."

Su Yi looked at the anxiety in Gu Qingshan's eyes, and the uneasiness in her heart became stronger and stronger.

"Otherwise, I will take the two children away! This time I will hide far away and make it impossible for you to find them in your life!"

Su Yi lowered her voice and threatened.

Gu Qingshan frowned and glared at Su Yi.

"Come to the study with me!"

The two arrived at Gu Qingshan's study.

Su Yi immediately wiped her tears and said, “Do you know what others said about these two children at the banquet today?

"Didn't you bring them back to the capital to give them the status of legitimate children? But now? They are being ridiculed!

"Others say they are wild children living under someone else's roof! They have no parents and no one loves them! But they are your own children!"

Gu Qingshan frowned.

"Why do we have to wait for Song Mingli's nod? Can't you just acknowledge them? Do we need Song Mingli's nod before their names can be included in the Gu family's genealogy?" Su Yi asked anxiously.

Gu Qingshan let out a breath of foul air.

"She is my legal wife. If she disagrees, their legitimate birth will not count!

"Besides, if the two brothers of the Song family start a fight, I will become famous in Kyoto again. Don't you think I haven't been embarrassed enough recently?"

Su Yi's eyes were filled with tears. "How much humiliation have you made these two children endure for your own face?"

Even though both of them lowered their voices, the atmosphere in the study became increasingly tense.

Song Mingli didn't know yet that because of her, the relationship between Su Yi and Gu Qingshan was facing unprecedented challenges.

She returned to Qichiyuan and asked someone to close and lock the door.

She looked at her son's homework for the day, talked to him about the interesting things that happened today, and then coaxed him to sleep.

After seeing Jingyou fall asleep, Song Mingli asked someone to prepare some water.

She soaked in the warm tub, washing away today's fatigue and making plans for the future...

The weather is getting hotter.

The bath Song Mingli took was a medicinal bath prepared by Nanxing, which was hotter than ordinary water.

"Is the gate locked? There's no one in the yard, open the back window." Song Mingli closed his eyes and instructed Zi Su.

Zi Su responded, opened the rear window and looked outside.

The rear window is slightly high, so even if there are people in the yard, they cannot see into the house.

Zi Su didn't know that there was no one in the yard - but there was someone on the tree!

His Royal Highness Prince Jing was squatting on the tall and lush paulownia tree outside the Qichi Courtyard.

Chu Yanchen was very curious about Song Mingli's affairs.

In particular, he heard that today, at the banquet at the Duke's Mansion, the Duke's wife treated Song Mingli as intimately as her own daughter.

The Duchess's wife even prepared for her to dress up exactly the same as her own daughter.

Although he did not announce to the public that he regarded Song Mingli as his daughter, it was obvious that he meant so.

Chu Yanchen asked someone to find out the details. The more he knew, the more mysterious it seemed.

Chu Yanchen had done this kind of thing before, such as visiting ministers’ houses at night, so he was very familiar with it.

But it was the first time to visit an official's inner house at night, especially where a woman lived.

He lied to himself and said, "I am here to see my precious disciple. I cannot allow such a good disciple to be abducted by others!"

He had just hidden himself in the sycamore tree when he heard the sound of a window opening.

He immediately turned around to look.

"hiss……"

Chu Yanchen's heart skipped a beat and his whole body tensed up, nearly causing him to fall from the tree.
